Ай бұрын

Hi Dom. I’m not really much of a colorist and I didn’t edit the x4 shots so that they could be representative of what users can expect. But fwiw: 1. It’s a higher bitrate: 200mbps h265 vs around 130mbps for x3. It seems to have noticeably less compression. 2. It has a wider dynamic range and has more detail in shadows and highlights. 3. The colors are more accurate to begin with. So I believe it will be easier to edit than x3. As for 1 inch 360, hmm hard to guess. Perhaps you can download the sample and let me know your thoughts as a professional videographer. 🙏

Ай бұрын

@@360vroomers Hey buddy, finally got around to downloading the clips - SO helpful to have these for a side-by-side comparison, TY, you rock! The higher bitrate is definitely beneficial - still not ideal, but definitely gives more scope to grade and push things around a bit. Interesting that the auto exposure is so different between the 2 cameras. The 1-inch has very little detail in the shadows whereas the X4 has clipped highlights and a tonne more info the darker areas. It feels like there a lot of noise in the X4 (given that this is a daytime shot) but I think that's because there's so much more detail - on the 1-inch some of the noise and compression artefacts are just being 'mushed' away. I might give the X4 clip a run through Topaz AI to see what that looks like next. Personally I hate clipped highlights so it'll be interesting to see how the shadow detail looks on the X4 when protecting those. Thanks again!

@360vroomers

Ай бұрын

Yes I’m glad x4 opted for more detail even if it has more noise. As for exposure, I agree it seems to be brighter than other cameras so I think it may benefit from a slight adjustment to protect the highlights.

@360vroomers

The mic adapter is stereo but it sounds like mono to you because i am guessing you have only one Rode transmitter and are using split mode so you are hearing sound coming on only the left channel. Instead, on your Rode receiver, hold down both small buttons and it will change to merged mode. In merged mode, the sound from the transmitter will be recorded on both left and right channel. I did this with my Rode wireless go 2 and the sound can be heard on both left and right channel. I hope this helps!

Thank you very much! It’s one reason I offered my own samples to download so anyone can look at them and draw their own conclusions. 😀

The X4 still suffers from two major problems that "could" be fixed with a firmware update: 1.) 200Mbp/s HEVC is still WAY too low for 8k. Adding 50Mbp/s more would be a significant improvement! Make a "high" 250+Mbp/s mode. 2.) Noise reduction is WAY too heavy and it's scrubbing the details out of the image and making it look like WAX or PLASTIC. They need to offer a noise reduction "low" option and allow noise, texture and DETAIL back into the image! This would allow us to clean it more carefully in post with WAY better results than in-camera noise processing. Insta360....PLEASE fix these two problems in firmware.

360 Vroomers, Please make a quick compare video between the X4 at 24p and the RS One 1-inch at 24p!!!!! Thank you. Very good, EXCEPT your RS One comparison was biasedly unfair. I was disappointed that you did not include the parking garage sign in that comparison, but WORST is that as an experienced Insta360 user YOU KNOW that the RS One 1-inch 6K 30p is NOT recording at the maximum sensor resolution! It is recording at 5888x2944 29.97p), which is a significant resolution drop and loss of sensor real estate. With the RS One 1-inch you MUST record at 24p (or 25p) to use the FULL sensor resolution of 6144x3072 and thus the SHARPEST video that the RS ONE 1-inch can generate. For those that do not appreciate the difference, please note that video bit rate is expressed as the amount of bits over a range of time (not the amount of bits per frame). which means that the fewer frames recorded over the same range of time means MORE bits per frame. Which is why the RS ONE 1-inch records a much crisper picture/frame at 24p: (1) it is using the full sensor and (2) each frame has a higher bit rate per frame. ... do a frame crop compare of a 24p vs 30p RS ONE 1-inch video to see this. 360 Vroomers, Please make a quick compare video between the X4 at 24p and the RS One 1-inch at 24p!!!!!

Still love to see you compare both X4 & RS (side by side) at 24p so that we can see both cameras at their maximum frame quality.

yes question. I use my X3 mostly for making instagram and facebook reels, 9 x 16 format. I think max rez supported is 1080, so for me really no benefit in upgrading to X4?

@360vroomers

Ай бұрын

Even if your content is 1080, x4 still has advantages. First you can reframe the shot more tightly while still having good detail. Second, x4 has new high frame rate modes such as 5.7k60, 4k100, bullet time at 5.7k120 etc. so you can get slow motion shots that are more detailed or have smoother slow motion. Third, this is more subjective but I like the colors of the x4 better, and I think x4 seems to “pop” more. You can try the sample files for download so you can see if it makes sense for the way you use it.

The 8k resolution is the one in the folder called x4. Did you zoom in the image? You can see it is a lot more detailed compared to x3. Is it “true 8k”? The 8k is spread out over 360 degrees so the resolution you see when reframed is lower than an 8k non-360 camera.

In the comparisons, you can see a line along the stitch line because I was using a multi-camera bracket (the cameras could see each other and part of the bracket). Without the bracket, there is no line. For example you can see in 5:00 when I was riding down the steps, there was no line because I didn’t use the bracket. I just used the X4 by itself on a selfie stick. I put this note in the description and the pinned comment though in retrospect I should have mentioned it in the video.
